CALL for ENTRIES: Winter, Joy & Gatherings

parties for hosting
MARSHMALLOWS
for roasting

The season of marshmallows & peppermint looms large. Homemade marshmallows are the BEST. I like to cut them in rounds just large enough to fit inside my mug of hot cocoa (like a giant crouton in french onion soup, ha). Mine are made simply with water, sugar, gelatin, salt & vanilla. Here’s a similar recipe if you want to give it a whirl. Your cocoa will never be the same again. This next Call wants your joyous Winter renderings. Enjoy the season…

CALL for ENTRIES: Beauty

Posted on August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

childhood
EGGPLANT

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud. Since his palate took a huge left turn a couple of years ago, eating out with him has been a voyage of firsts. The first taste of Baingan ka Bharta (a spicy mash of eggplant & tomatoes) & Goat Korma were adorable. And hopeful. Finally I can rest knowing that I might have put another foodie out into the world that is willing to eat adventurously. This next Call could be a first opportunity for you at the first show for this gallery. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Posted on May 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RASPBERRIES
& beet-red cheeks

That moment when someone unexpectedly walks in the kitchen while you’re cramming the last of the chocolate chips in your mouth like Lucille Ball in a chocolate factory… simply common place at my house. Insert raspberries or pickled beets into that sentence, and it has my name written all over it. I’m constantly being caught red-handed. Luckily for me, this next Call is for all of my red-handed compatriots–in & out of foodie-land. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Curator Sharon Meriash for 7th Annual RED Show at the T Gallery Denver (Denver, CO). $10 Entry, a great theme & juror too! I want to enter this one, but alas, I work in black & white. Time to work outside the comfort zone…

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Why RED? Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males. Red can mean love, lust, anger, temper, fiery heat and warmth. Red can symbolize danger. In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy where brides wear red and front doors are often painted red. Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red. Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Each piece must be created in 50% PLUS shades of red. All works are square in finished orientation, 20”x20” being the largest accepted size.

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Big Bad Wax

Posted on September 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

right red
rounds

I’ve been on a cheese kick lately. But, I find myself specifically craving red-waxed cheddar. I know the artificially-colored wax coating isn’t supposed to influence flavor, but I love the texture of the cheddar found just under the surface of the wax. AND, I like dipped cheeses better than brushed cheeses. Something about those bright red rounds reminds me of the comfort of childhood before cholesterol and added pounds influenced my food choices. This next Call wants your wax inspirations. Check it out…

Check out this Call for Entries from Mount Dora Center for the Arts (Mount Dora, FL) for Big Bad Wax, a national juried encaustic exhibition. These exhibits are harder to find, so be certain not to miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on January 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

NOT THE SAME OLD
same old

My favorite restaurant added a whole new selection of side items from creamed cauliflower to spaghetti squash Parmesan. I love it when the old standard surprises you with a little refresher. This next Call is a perfect example. One of my favorite photography-specific galleries is offering their FIRST non-photographic solo show. So exciting…

Check out this Call for Entries for Spring Featured Artist – Abstraction from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is higher than our norm, but remember…you’re gambling on a SOLO show.

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Abstract art is an exploration of color, form, movement, or other intangibles that need not be wedded to a recognizable subject. Such work is limited only by the imagination. Non-figurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are all acceptable.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: The Kiernan Gallery seeks a body of 2D, non-photographic work that partially or fully obscure the recognizable world.

DEADLINE: February 20, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE: 8 -10 pieces for $50

AWARDS: A one-month solo show. A feature on The Kiernan Gallery’s blog and website. An electronic show card designed and distributed by The Kiernan Gallery.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: Encaustic Invitational

Posted on December 8, 2012December 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit. When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old. Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year. Pick the ugly fruit, please. This next Call uses wax in a much better way. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Consequential Fusion

Posted on March 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

AN APPLE A DAY

I am not typically a food peeler. With the obvious exception of bananas, oranges and pineapple (and a few others), I don’t often peel fruits or vegetables–from cucumbers to potatoes, apples to tomatoes. That’s why I eat nectarines not peaches–no fuzz. And I long for the days before fruits showed up in our grocery stores covered in shiny coats of wax. This next call from the IEA is a far better use for wax than my apples.

Check out this Call for Entries from International Encaustic Artists and Art Center Morro Bay for Consequential Fusion: Messages in Wax. This is a great opportunity for those of you working with encaustic. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Consequential Fusion

Encaustic art has seen a resurgence in popularity since the 1990s with people using electric irons, hotplates and heated stylus on a variety of different surfaces including card, paper and even pottery. The iron makes producing a variety of artistic patterns elementary. However, the medium is not limited to just abstract designs, it can be used to create complex paintings, just as in other media such as oil and acrylic.

MEDIA: Two and three dimensional encaustic art. Size is limited to 24″ x 36″ for wall hung art, 24″ x 30″ x 30″ for three-dimensional pieces

ENTRY FEE:
$35 for up to three entries

DEADLINE:
April 8, 2011

NOTIFICATION: May 6, 2011 via email and IEA website post. Editor’s Note: Bravo to IEA for sending notifications by email IN ADDITION to posting on their website.

AWARDS: $1000 in cash prizes from Art Center Morro Bay and product awards from R and F Paints, San Luis Art Supply and more

SALES: Art Center Morro Bay will collect for all sales, then mail checks to artists, retaining 30 % commission. Proceeds will help fund student scholarships and educational programs.

ABOUT the ART CENTER MORRO BAY: Located in historic downtown Morro Bay, the Art Center Morro Bay, parented by Morro Bay Art Association, has been the heart of the arts in this community for the past 60 years.
